has anyone put 4 of these on something really heavy, to truly test out the load capacity? says 125lb each, but dont wanna find out hard way its a lie.

I used six of these on a bow-making wood storage cart for my shop; haven't tried to weigh the total but it usually carries some 4x8 plywood sheets and cut pieces as well as 6-12 1"x6"x8' dense hardwood boards (bloodwood, ironwood, walnut, etc), 5-10 6' bow staves, a variety of exotic and hardwood pieces, round stock, and various parts of projects underway. With the cart frame I expect it's 500-600#, but rolls well on concrete and changes direction easily. If in doubt, use six. However I wouldn't use these to support and move a machine tool - that's done better with a purpose-made rolling and locking frame.

it says on it 10,000lb but i would not reach that load max with my 4runner but it is a lot stronger then the tie down points people try to use for recovery

I don't think they are intended to support an extra load, just to help out the leaf spring to a slight degree. They worked very well on my van, which is now about 1/2 higher in the rear. I do not tow anything. If you tow heavy loads regularly, maybe an additional leaf spring would be a more appropriate solution.

Hi Linda! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) My apologies for missing your question, and not replying sooner! The answer is 500 lb actual rated load verified by SGS testing at maximum force of 531 lbs. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

I have not tested them accordingly using weights, but I had a 250lbs friend sit on it and it didn't seem to struggle at all. I was worried about this too. But there you go... it didn't break.

i have had somewhere close to 4000 lbs in the back of my 1 ton and have not had any issues, (@90-100psi) took most the body roll out of the truck. hope this helps

If you mount them flat, they lose about 2/3 of the weight capacity. So figure about 150 lbs. vs. the 500 lbs if you use them as designed.

I forget the weight capacity, but I believe you can get at least 400 lb on there. I think the listed capacity is a little less though. But that may be a safe number and then do the math. I

The only way to answer this question definitively is testing to failure, and I doubt anybody has done that, including the manufacturer. They are cheap enough, so if that is critical, why not order a pack and hang some weight from them?

Sorry, I did not put any real strain on it other than as a strap for hanging a 60# kayak off the wall. Suggest you contact the manufacturer to get load limit/working load data. This stuff is strong, but since I don't have a clue what you are going to stress it to.....

This question is answered several times on the Amazon website. Mine has been tested up to 320 pounds, no problems. I do not feel any "give" in the boards with this much weight.

Weight-tested to support 400 lbs. of static weight. The added pressure from using weights may be pushing it too far.

Keep it simple. The rating of 2500 lbs is their max strength weighting; meaning if you had them each very close for a short period of time they'll hold 2500 (package rating). To be real 2500 lbs is a Mini Cooper- I doubt you plan to put anything that heavy on saw horses! 800 lbs is also ridiculously heavy?? What and how will you left 800 lbs up onto these? These horses are meant for holding material while you saw, drill, wrench, paint, or work on your project. They are not meant to be used over time for massive weights. I have have put a 550 lb gluelam beam on with no issues- this took 3 men to put this on the horses. So work away and don't worry about max holding weight.

I've bought a couple sets of these. Love them. I hang my kitchen pots an pans on them, so I'm nowhere near 50lbs per. However, I can't see any way they wouldn't be able to hold that much weight as long as whatever you're screwing them into can hold it. They're not going to bend or break. Still, you night want to test one in your garage first. Definiely screw into solid wood, even if in ceiling.

Thank you for contacting us. If the originals are rated at 120lbs then these would not work. Do you have any markings off the originals that you can provide us with? - Lift Supports Depot

No they didn't actually lift anything but they are a loadbearing shock. I was thinking the same thing you are when I got them. I ended up getting cargo springs to pick the front end up. But they have been good shocks.

Sorry I was on vacation. I wouldn't trust these to something that heavy. They seem to be made well enough but not as heavy as I would want to deal with a golf cart. We used them for ladders for our dogs to get out of the water and onto our boat. Not a lot of demand for strength there! Hope this helps.
